Spanish term or phrase: sellos especializados en
Estoy ayudando a traducir unos documentos de un hotel.

"Muchos de nuestros hoteles ya cuentan con certificados de relevancia, avalados por las principales entidades certificadoras internacionales reconocidas por el Global Sustainable Tourism Council. Entre ellas destacan Earthcheck y Travelife, **sellos especializados en** sostenibilidad turística."

¿Cómo se traduce "sello" aquí?

Mi internet está tan intermitente que no me permite ni hacer búsquedas por google para buscar los significados de sello. Vamos a ver si logro colocar esta consulta.

Mil gracias por su ayuda

Explanation:
These are tourism sustainability certification bodies, but your text has just referred to "entidades certificadoras" and you don't want to repeat yourself. The ecotourism jargon term is "labels", particularly in Europe, but also to a lesser extent in the US (where this whole area is less advanced). Organizations like Earthcheck and Travelife are referred to as "labels", which is the equivalent of "sellos", or "ecolabels", which is a bit more common in the US.

Here's a European document on the subject:

"Sustainable Tourism Labels
Guide for the certification of tourist accommodation and tour operators in southern Mediterranean countries.
[...]
Leading sustainable labels for tourist accommodation
Travelife
Green Key
Green Globe
EU Ecolabel
EarthCheck
Tunisian Ecolabel
Other labels"

Here's a document from the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, mentioned in your text:

"Based in Athens, Greece, Green Evolution SA is an environmental service provider specialized in ecology, energy and carbon finance, and offering training working with several sustainable tourism certification standards and labels, such as Travelife, Green Globe and EarthCheck."
https://www.gstcouncil.org/sustainable-tourism-training-in-s...

An (American) site on the "Top 5 Websites for Promoting Ecotourism at Your Hotel":

"To get your hotel on Bookdifferent’s list, you need to have one or more of the following labels and certifications:
Audobon International’s Green Lodging Program
Biosphere Responsible Tourism Label
EarthCheck
Global Sustainable Tourism Council
Green Globe
Green Key Global
TourCert
Travelife"
https://blog.capterra.com/top-5-websites-for-promoting-ecoto...

And another US organization, based in Washington and Stanford and oriented to Latin America; it uses "ecolabels" rather than just "labels":

"The DestiNet Portal for Sustainable Tourism information describes and
offers links to the websites of over 60 ecolabels for sustainable tourism worldwide."

agree  Sara Fairen: I was focusing on where the idea of "seal" could have come from, but this option probably works better in the sentence
